The Clamping Thread

[RIB2211 Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close RIB2211]

This thread is intended for the clampers on this forum to discuss their routines and experiences, but also for those who have conditioned themselves (!!!) well enough to the point to look into the technique.

I myself am a rookie clamper, only having done it now for maybe a month. My routine is this:

12 minute warm-up
30 second JAI stretch (out, left, right)
10 rotational stretches each way
50 OK jelqs
50 V-Jelqs
50 OK jelqs
50 V-Jelqs
(All jelqing is done at 60% erection or higher, since I'm focusing on my smooth muscle)
10 minutes of clamping
4 minutes of heat
10 minutes of clamping
Two sets of one minute JAI stretches (straight out)
Cool-down: 5 minutes

I do this on Mon, Tues, Wed, Thurs.

Here is a great website with instructions on clamping; it's what I used to guide me when I first started (contains great pics and what are the best clamps to use):

Clamping 101 - Penis Enlargement Manual

For awhile I was doing "Behind the Balls" clamping, which is explained in the link above. However, lately I feel like I get the most expansion out of just normal clamping, which is good because there is a possibility of hurting tissues when you "Behind the Balls" clamping.

I have not taken many measurements, but I have noticed that my unit feels thicker and I am getting a better flaccid hang. During clamping, I can expand my unit up to 5.6 EG, which is about a .35 increase than normal.

So, chime in if your a clamper

Im a novice clamper . I've done it 6 time or so. I should do like you and take a measurement while clamped.

I clamp using a plain old hose clamp . It adds a crazy amount of pressure and gets the unit extremely engorged.

so as much as i'd hate to admit it i have clamped like 5 times, i kno its not safe especially since i did it after jelqing sessions and i would kegel as much blood as my penis would take, by that i mean after jelqing sessons i would get hard after by masturbating then take a hair tie and make a figure 8 with it, and put the top loop over the bottom loop strecth it and place it on my penis as far down on the base as i can and the kegel it up as much as i could, i sometimes kept it on for over 30mins. i felt like such a stud when the hardness would subside and i had this monster flacid bulge, i have stopped this completely seeing as how i seriously want to keep my penis safe and just while im confesing ill admit to also having sex while clamped and ejaculating while clamped thankfully i didnt destroy my penis and i realized how thankful i was and have stopped completely...and no i did not notice any pain, irratation, color discolorations, no negative side effects, except i might blame my period of failed erections to this, but through PE i made a great recovery and have a healthy boner once again.

I've honestly never been a fan of clamping.

After a few minutes, the blood stagnates (this means that the red blood cells (erythrocytes) lose the oxygen that is stored in the hemoglobin of the cell.) Hemoglobin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

When there is a lack of oxygen, the tissue starts dying off. Obviously, it takes many hours of clamping in order for your penis to ''die''. Clamping for 10 minutes is fine, but it might be a little intense on your penis. I wont get into all the possible medical conditions that can surface with blood stagnation. Gangrene can become apparent with stagnated blood. I dont mean to scare you, I'm just playing devil's advocate.

I cannot stress enough how important safety is when you clamp.

The only clamping I've done is the Uli. I never Uli for longer than 30 seconds at a time. I heat up between Uli sets.

Remek and JP are real clamping experts. Lets get them in here!

Naw man, I've NEVER clamped. Marty, over at BMan wrote a great thread on using cable clamps, want me to bring it over?

If you could please!

Thanks for posting this thread. I was looking for this information!

[The_Roc248 Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close The_Roc248]

I'm too scared to clamp lol. There's pressure using the hand, then there's pressure using a fucking hose clamp or cable lol. It just takes it too a whole new level, that I personally believe isn't healthy.

Good luck with though.

Clamping: An Introduction
For anyone who wants to add girth to their penis, clamping is one of the more effective advance methods. Let me emphasize advance. This is not a method of penis enlargement that should be engaged in by newbies or by those who have a penis that is not accustomed to methods that enlarge, engorge, and/or expand the shaft and head of the penis. If you fall within either of these categories I would urge you not to engage in the methods described in this post.

When a person clamps, he literally forces more blood into the areas of the shaft and head above the clamp, more blood than is naturally pumped into the shaft during an erection. The end result is that the extra blood expands the penis tissue beyond its normal expanded size when one becomes naturally erect. In other words, you are making your penis larger than it was meant to be. This alone should cause you to realize how dangerous clamping can be if not performed cautiously and with constant assessment. Clamping might be compared to pumping air into a tire. If the normal tire pressure is 30 psi and you pump 60 psi into the tire, what could happen? Of course, the tire could burst. The same dangers can be found in clamping. Many of us have burst blood vessels when clamping. Some have experienced circulatory problems when they damaged the vessels that carry blood into and out of the penis. This is not a method of penis enlargement to be taken lightly. It is risky.

I’m going to lay out the basics of clamping in this post. However, I urge you to study all material related to this method of penis enlargement. The finer points of this method vary among practitioners, but most agree on the generalities. Point being that you should not be satisfied with what I will say about clamping. I am no expert, just a member who is experienced with the method.

To understand the mechanics of clamping and what takes place when a clamp is applied to the base of the penis shaft, work yourself to about a 75% erection. With your palm facing down, wrap your index and thumb around the base of your penis (forming the OK sign) and squeeze. You should see your shaft expand. If not, rotate the grip slightly and squeeze. Continue until you find that sweet spot that seems to force blood upward and cause the shaft and head to expand. The sweet spot cuts off back flow – it does not allow blood to leave the penis. It is trapped.

What you have done with your hands is what we sometimes refer to as a squeeze or a Uli. You have mimicked what takes place when clamping. By naturally becoming erect (75%) you engorged the shaft with blood. With your hand you squeezed the shaft (making it narrower in that area) and forced the blood in the area under your grip to move upward. When the blood moved up the shaft the shaft accommodated the extra blood by expanding. Of course, this is exactly what takes place as we become erect. Our flaccid penis fills with blood and begins to expand. The amount of expansion is determined by the amount of blood the body is able to pump into the shaft. When you squeezed the shaft you then forced additional blood (above normal) into the shaft making it wider than normal.

The above expansion of the shaft beyond its normal width is the idea behind clamping and squeezes. It is believed and has been proven that if one expands the penis beyond its normal width (girth) for a period of time, then the penis stretches/grows/adapts. The end result is larger chambers that fill with blood. If you have larger chambers and more blood in your penis, then you have a larger penis. And you can’t forget the head. The head of the penis is also taken beyond its normal size. Thus over time the head of your penis will expand to a larger size.

Hopefully you understand by now the dangers of clamping (often referred to as a Uli), the process, what takes place inside, and the end result. Now lets look at a general overview of expansion using a clamp.

MATERIAL LIST: Cable Clamp (red or orange). Wrist Band (sweat band). Heat.

PREPARE THE CLAMP: Most of us use cable clamps. The first thing you want to do is wrap the arms of the clamp with some type of protective material that will serve as a cushion from the edges of the clamp. I use theraband, but other materials work just as well.

WARM-UP: I use an electric heating pad to warm up the penis. Use whatever method of warmth that you are accustomed to. The point is to warm the penis for several minutes.

DRY JELQ: I have found that warm up not only includes heat, but warming the shaft for expansion. You are stretching the shaft, with less pressure, in the ways it will be stretched with clamping. I do about 25 dry jelqs at the base.

PARTIAL ERECTION: For me, about a 75-85% erection is optimum. Too much erection and you will not achieve maximum (if any) expansion. Too little erection and you get the same result. You have to experiment with how much erection you need to perform this routine. Later I will give you some signs to look for that will indicate maximum expansion.

WRIST BAND: With the partial erection I slide the wrist band over my penis down to the base. I pull my shaft through the wrist band to ensure it is as far down as possible.

INSTALL THE CLAMP: With the wrist band on the shaft, I then take the cable clamp and very loosely clamp it at the base. Do not clamp more than a couple of clicks. If clamped too tight, blood cannot be pumped into the penis. Since the cable clamp is hinged on one end, it does not make a perfect circle. Instead, it forms an oval. Such a shape produces uneven pressures on the shaft. Therefore, where you place the hinged end in relation to your shaft is something you will learn through experimentation. For me, the hinged end can be placed at two, ten, four, or eight o’clock. The point is that you have to place the clamp so that the applied pressures cut off the back flow of blood into your body. In other words, the clamp will trap the blood in the penis so that it cannot escape.

PULL OUT THE PENIS: With the clamp loosely installed, I once again pull my penis out while at the same time pushing down on the clamp with the other hand. I want the clamp at the base. Hold the clamp at the base.

OBTAIN AN ERECTION: By now you have lost the 75% erection, but this is good. Too much erection is counterproductive to initiating clamping. While holding the clamp against the base, I use the other hand to stimulate the penis to an erection.

TIGHTEN THE CLAMP: As I begin to obtain an erection I am kegeling the entire time. You must kegel! This is what pumps the blood into the shaft. As the penis becomes erect, click the cable clamp tighter. This is a progressive step – one click at a time. The more erect I get, the tighter the clamp until it will close no further. When you reach this point you now have a full erection with the clamp as tight as it will go. Continue to kegel periodically while clamped.

POSITIVE SIGNS: Once you find the sweet spot on your shaft that allows you to cut off the blood flow back into the body, you will see signs of a positive workout. Of course, one of these signs is a shaft that is expanded beyond its normal size. Your penis will also look meaner – veins, ridges, chambers all well defined and prominent. The head of the penis will also swell. At maximum expansion you will notice small bumps appearing on the head of the penis. After a few minutes the bumps will disappear and the head will become shinny. After a while the shaft will darken a bit as the blood loses its oxygen. Remember to kegel throughout your clamp session in order to maintain the erection.

NEGATIVE SIGNS: Pain. Cold shaft. Busted blood vessels. Blood. Uneven expansion. Uneven expansion is usually noticed after progress is made. This problem can be addressed by not clamping at the same angle each time. Rotate the clamp around. Put the hinged end at different places. Remember: The clamp is oval, not round. Thus uneven pressures are applied. Even out the growth by rotating the position of the clamp periodically and spreading the pressures.

HOW LONG: I remain clamped for no more than 10 – 12 minutes. On average I will do three 10 – 12 minutes sessions. Now this is for a well-seasoned penis. In the beginning I would do a lot less until your penis becomes accustomed to the routine. I have also found that rest days are important with girth work. Ideally I would do two days on, one day off.

WARM DOWN: After the time is up, remove the clamp and massage the penis. Specifically massage in the area where the clamp was attached. After a short massage I like to obtain a partial erection and then perform some dry or wet jelqs in order to fill the penis with fresh blood. Next I apply heat.

By no means is this meant to be an all inclusive post discussing clamping. It’s more of an introduction. Clamping is not easy. It requires patience and note taking. The patience is required in finding the sweet spot on your shaft that can be (and must be) clamped in order to stop blood from leaving the penis. You must trap the blood in the penis and then force it forward with the squeezing of the shaft using the clamp.

Let me emphasize again that this is not an exercise or method of penis enlargement that should be attempted by just anyone. It is dangerous, but also safe when performed by the informed and cautious man.

Much more detailed information is scattered throughout Betterman dealing with clamping and even more extreme methods of clamping using two clamps. Use the search button and get more informed about this productive method of expanding penis girth.

Thanks JonPop, that was a great read!

Few things I need to work on according to that:

1) 75% erection...I try and get as close to 100% when I clamp, but apparently that's not the best way.
2) Build up the clamp power...I just try and close the clamp as much as I can right from the get-go.
3) Finding the "Sweet Spot"...when I clamp, I get good expansion, but I have found out that I stop stimulating myself, I will lose my expansion no matter how tight I have the clamp (which is usually all the way locked).

Wow - lots of good information. Saving this thread for the future (like a year from now).

Thanks.

[RIB2211 Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close RIB2211]

Really cool - I did the three things I told myself I needed to start doing, and today was a very productive clamping session!

Thanks again JonPop
